Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler than in the Acura RDX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Wrangler will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Acura RDX.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Acura RDX as you will with the Jeep Wrangler, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Acura RDX or the Jeep Wrangler, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Acura RDX is a little wider than the Jeep Wrangler, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Acura RDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Jeep Wrangler.

Handling
The Acura RDX has the same turning radius as the Jeep Wrangler, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Acura RDX for pulling heavy loads. The Acura RDX has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Wrangler.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Acura RDX transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Jeep Wrangler.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura RDX and the Jeep Wrangler.
